The key features of the game, according to the product release page, are as follows:
– Original soundtrack, composed by Peter McConnell
– Dialog Trees
– Jokes (“Unless you don’t think they’re funny, in which case we totally weren’t trying to be funny.”)

– “All your hopes and dreams”

The game follows two teenagers – Vella Tartine and Shay Volta. The player can freely switch between controlling the two teens who are facing similar situations in drastically different worlds.
